SWAMP AND GRAB HOOK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 290,785, dated December25, 1883.

Application filed October 12, 1893.

To all whom it WMLZ/ concern.-

Be it known that I, ALBERT M. MILLARD, of Wausau, Marathon county,Wisconsin, have invented a new and Improved Swamp and Grab Hook, ofwhich the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention consists of an improved conlogs onto crotches in thelumber-forests, and also for grabbing and pulling chains, skids, andother objects, the hook being connected to a chain hitched to a team, orto be pulled by the hands of men, as hereinafter fully described.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawing, forming part of thisspecification, in which the figure represents my improved hook inperspective view.

a represents the swamp and grab hook, formed in the end of the. strongcurved steel shank b, suitably for hooking into the side of a log, welldown at the back, from the direction in which the log isto berolled,while the shank bears against the side of the log above the hook,touching at the part c of the shank, or thereabout, above which is thehitching- 1 (ModeL) hook (I, the bend of which turns in a plane at rightangles to that of hook a, so as not to bear on the log, to make it easyfor hooking on the chain or the hook of a rope, by which the power is tobe applied, and in order that the draft of book b will be in the line ofthe shank b the shank of the hook is bent at e reversely to the bend f,so that the center of the bend atfis in the line of the shank I), thuspreventing the hook from pulling sidewise, as it would if hook d werebent wholly to one side of shank 12.

Having thus described my invention, I claim
